Show 3241 Dent- D 1266 Q Now, in that stretch of the Colorado did you meat any other persons other than those of your party? A We met one prospector at Red canyon. MR. FARNSWORTH: What mile is that? THE SPECIAL MASTER: Let Mr. Hoyt look it up. MR. HOYT: 150. MR. FARNSWORTH: At mile 150? MR. HOYT: Yes. BY MR. BLACKMAR: Q Colonel, in that stretch of the river did you see any other boats going either up or down stream? A No, but this prospector had a skiff that I would estimate as about twelve feet in length and he actually crossed the river and visited us; we stopped and talked to him one afternoon, and next morning he showed up at our camp. I saw the wrecks of a few boats, small boats most of them. Q Did you see the wreck of a large boat at Lee's Ferry? MR. FARNSWORTH: Using " wreck", I take it, in the sense of remains, are you not? You don't simply it was wrecked on the river in your question? THE WITNESS: I don't know just where it was wrecked, but I call it a wreck. THE SPECIAL MASTER: Let's say corpse. MR. BLACKMAR: That's all right. |
